I was showing the genius bar guys unix commands and showing them Retina Burn-in tests to show their product was defective. Even I didn't know you had to make a reservation (costme 3 hours, and then 2 more hours because the tech had to leave in the middle of servicing), I thought their they advertised that their stuff is flawless.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f503a3ecad04975d000002Swwet SamSun, 28 Jul 2013 07:42:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f503a3ecad04975d000002
Smartphones with the capability to record video have never been as prevalent as they are now. An HTC One that records 720p can be had for as little as $50 when on sale.
Also, 10 years ago, we didn't have the social networks such as Youtube and Vine to easily disseminate this information.
So you are very wrong about that.
And I find it funny that you would quote me using "Sic" to emphasize an obvious typing error and then you write "Freud wanna be, you sold your sole to Apple." Sole? Is AAPL now interested in the bottoms of my heavily worn out Pumas? Btw, I have never owned an Apple product and most likely never will. I have no need to own a dumbed down product sold at a premium to impress my hipster doofus friends.
You are of the same sophomoric, petulant, and provincial tribe as this woman in the Vine video. I say this due to your blathering of meaningless buzz words such as NSA and the govt./corporate boogeyman.
While you defend your childish, moronic, and psychotic sister in this video, I will focus on more important things like my portfolio, and keeping out of sight of those drones equipped with hellfire missles.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f3619469bedd1f6b000007zunguriSat, 27 Jul 2013 01:58:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f3619469bedd1f6b000007
She's just too angry for the issue at hand. Something tells me Carlos Danger is involved.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f05abceab8ea0c7000002dNancy ElwellWed, 24 Jul 2013 18:52:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f05abceab8ea0c7000002d

I'm totally on her side but her voice is more than a tad abrasivehttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f01cbaecad046920000013AMWed, 24 Jul 2013 14:28:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f01cbaecad046920000013
iPhones use the same Gorilla Glass that most Android devices do. Don't forget that you shelled out your hard earned money to a company in Singapore, HTC, rather than spend it with an American company. There are rarely battery issues with Apple devices, there are, on the other hand, issues with software downloaded from the app store or perception issues by customers. Customers tend to not realize how much using turn by tun navigation, idle bluetooth, or streaming video will drain a battery. Also, I have had plenty of opportunities to damage test iPhones and I can tell you, they are incredibly durable. The problem is people drop them over and over again, and eventually, their luck runs out. Apple customers tend to be smart enough to get insurance on their phones, so they aren't up the creek when they do break them, which is not the case with a lot of Android customers (AppleCare+ v. Asurion). Trust me Asurion phones are complete garbage, open one up and you'll be able to tell in about a second. Also, Android phones consistently get lower JD Power satisfaction scores for durability than iPhones, so there is some data to backup that point. Each phone has its place, you can choose your Android, but don't get angry for people that choose Apple, they just wanted a different product than you.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f01877eab8eaa96e000003OilWed, 24 Jul 2013 14:09:59 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f01877eab8eaa96e000003
BTW, making fun of the people who chose to give of themselves and raise their children makes about as much sense as making fun of a teacher for wasting their time teaching our children instead of pursuing their own goals.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f009ca6bb3f7aa1100000alabman57Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:07:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51f009ca6bb3f7aa1100000a

I have had dozens of Windows PC's since 2001 when I dumped Apple for this type of repeated thing. The one event I needed service a nice technician came to me the same day I called, no Apple envy here, just glad I got out of the religion.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51effa056bb3f76171000005InfrequentguestWed, 24 Jul 2013 12:00:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51effa056bb3f76171000005
Listen Freud, a few seconds of video tape is not enough to make any conclusion about any person.
Bring back "civlity (sic)", seriously? This activity of taping private persons and posting on internet is not new. It has been going on since cellphones have had that capability--10 years or so. Do you see more civility in society? Didn't think so.
We, "the people", are doing the work for corporations by videotaping and editing the tape so that private individuals look bad. You, as in all of you who participate in this nonsense, complain about NSA and the invasion of privacy but fully rationalize your role in going beyond what the NSA is doing. The government must be sitting back and laughing that people like you are willing to turn on your fellow citizen, " Anyone who disagrees with a corporate policy in public is subject to videotaping and the humiliating posting of edited videotape on the internet. We will make sure we punish you, your spouse, and your children until you stop this behavior, no matter if it was only 90 seconds of your life." We don't need the thought police when do-gooders like you and Porscha Coleman are willing to do the dirty work for free.
Freud wanna be, you sold your sole to Apple.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efe925ecad043a3e000004Kirsten AcunaWed, 24 Jul 2013 10:48:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efe925ecad043a3e000004
Before I realized you were supposed to set up fancy "appointments," I once went straight back to the genius bar and just asked for help, and it worked. The store was pretty busy, too. I wasn't aware if I had cut anyone, but no one seemed to notice or care. Got in. Got out.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efde5c69beddcd2500000cBo HitchcockWed, 24 Jul 2013 10:02:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efde5c69beddcd2500000c
You'll be surprised at how Google Glass influences criminal behavior once these products are more widely used. If everyone if recording everything and the feed is transmitted to a remote location and stored, who is going to rob another store, or carjack, or rape someone with these recording devices??? Think about it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdd64eab8ea7d75000013Ray Ray JonesWed, 24 Jul 2013 09:57:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdd64eab8ea7d75000013
My apple phones screen broke twice. I never buy another one.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdd356bb3f7ff3700000fGoogle GlassWed, 24 Jul 2013 09:57:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdd356bb3f7ff3700000f
I looked at all the comments and it looks like now people are actually ok with the Google glass "instrusive" recording. If people are ok recording a citizen flipping out then people are ok with Google glass. You can't say no to that. This is pure logic. If not then Coleman should be sued for her recording without the consent of the woman.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdcfc6bb3f7953c000001Bo HitchcockWed, 24 Jul 2013 09:56:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdcfc6bb3f7953c000001
More of my friends that have iphones have either broken screens and/or battery issues.... something very few of my Android phone friends have to deal with. Where do all these Applefags get this erroneous info about Androids breaking all the time. My HTC EVO is 2 and a half years old and I've never had any issues with it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdc65eab8ea2677000010Shanikkashay JeffersonWed, 24 Jul 2013 09:53:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efdc65eab8ea2677000010

Yeah you are spot on. The easy reaction to have is to of course be all indignant about this woman's obviously screwy behavior....but your assessment is the one that makes sense after the initial excitement is over.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efcd4deab8ea355600000arbwWed, 24 Jul 2013 08:49:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51efcd4deab8ea355600000a

Right, because they never break and you can just walk into a Verizon or AT&T store and they'll get right on it for you. Except they do and they don't. Get real, fanboi.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef9e6aeab8eab97700002apimpampettWed, 24 Jul 2013 05:29:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef9e6aeab8eab97700002a
So you need an appointment to go to a apple store for service? They must break a lot then? Hours of waiting?
build some quality please...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef89d26bb3f76b1900001bOilWed, 24 Jul 2013 04:01:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef89d26bb3f76b1900001b
You spend more time stuck in rush-hour traffic than you do with your kids and you think you're the smart one. You may be in a higher tax bracket, but at least you get to look down at other people. That's gotta be worth something.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef810becad04f475000008Swwet SamWed, 24 Jul 2013 03:23:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef810becad04f475000008
LOL, the only scumbag is this petulant child masqerading as an adult and mom. I love that now most anyone has a video recorder to document things like this. Maybe this will bring civlity back into society?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef8077ecad04c17e000001Swwet SamWed, 24 Jul 2013 03:21:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef8077ecad04c17e000001
Are you serious? No mature adult is in the right to act like a petulant child.
That was hideous to watch.
And if she were black, I would have loved to see the racist garbage spewed about on this forum.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef803469bedd624f00000eSwwet SamWed, 24 Jul 2013 03:20:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef803469bedd624f00000e
How does young and beautiful apply to this manly woman?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef684e69bedd5f1a000017InfrequentguestWed, 24 Jul 2013 01:38:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef684e69bedd5f1a000017
Right--there is a problem with Apple customer service. Applecare tells customers one thing on the phone and then is told a different story at Apple stores.
This is the problem with the world's fetish for Apple products. The company culture is pretentious douchebaggery and because of the fetish, customers take Apple's BS. Owning an iPhone just makes you one of the sheep willing to be treated poorly for owning an Apple product.
And yeah, this woman was having a bad day. So what? Who hasn't? The real scumbag of this story is Porsche Coleman, wanna be actress, posting this on the internet to humiliate a private citizen. Amazing how many comments were made about her poor parenting skills and her needing psych meds based on a few seconds of video. More than likely the same commenters who were all up in arms about the NSA--but as long as we do it to each other, totally cool, right? Get real. Porsche Coleman is a scumbag.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef4d706bb3f7842f000003Jason Brand StTue, 23 Jul 2013 23:43:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef4d706bb3f7842f000003

It is absolutely inexcusable behavior. It is the sort of behavior that has likely gotten her results in the past and she is continuing it because of prior success.
One would hope that because it didn't work on this particular occasion, she may not rely upon it in the future. As a bonus in this case, public shaming may have an influence as well.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef2fec6bb3f7936d00000cJames1Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:37:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef2fec6bb3f7936d00000c

Not true, sometimes Apple forces you to use it if you need a new part. Also the company is called either Apple or AAPL, not APPL.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef22c569bedd2f7a00001fSterlingTue, 23 Jul 2013 20:41:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef22c569bedd2f7a00001f

I have no current Apple anything, but someone I know does and she has just walked in to an Apple Store and Genius Bar several times for help and parts without an appointment, with no problem.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef15f8eab8ea2a64000001Fred FingstonTue, 23 Jul 2013 19:47:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ef15f8eab8ea2a64000001
